John Frederick Tait
« on: Sunday 31 December 23 06:54 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to put together John Frederick Tait’s life living in Sydney NSW Australia between 1866-1915.
I know he lived in Arncliffe with his wife Anna Maria and they had a daughter Margretta and son John Frederick Tait (Junior).
Hoping someone has some information on this family.

You have possibly seen the death /funeral /memorial notices for John Frederick TAIT and Anna Maria TAIT ?

Doesn't give any further information, however John appears in Wise's Postal Directory 1909 at "Hampden" Walter St
(as on the marriage  notice of son John)

The house at Wollongong Rd, Arncliffe is to let in 1916 (after J F TAIT's death), however there is a description which may be of interest:

"ARNCLIFFE - Hampden, Wollongong rd, D.F. Bk Villa, 4 large rooms, wide hall, kit, L., bathrm, gas, outhouses, etc, lg. allot., 23s. Dettmann, Arncliffe"
